Background: Although the benefits of exercise for kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have been widely demonstrated, these patients experience several barriers in undertaking a structured exercise program in hospital and non-hospital facilities.
Aim: To compare the effects of a supervised moderate-intensity gym-based intervention with a home-based low-intensity walking program on exercise capacity in KTRs.
Methods: KTRs were asked to choose between two six-month programs.

The aim of this review is to assess the utility of circulating HPV tumor DNA (ctHPVDNA) clearance in the monitoring of molecular residual disease in HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) patients. Recently, ctHPVDNA in patient plasma was found to be a promising biomarker for HPV OPSCC. Changes in this biomarker appear to be associated with treatment response and may be useful for identifying molecular residual disease.

: Self-sampling is recognized as a viable alternative to clinician-sampling for HPV primary screening. This study aimed to assess, within an Italian organized cervical cancer screening program, the acceptance and ease of use of self-sampling and the adherence to follow-up. The prevalences of HPV infection, cervical dysplasia, and cancer were contextually evaluated.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is sexually transmitted and commonly widespread in the head and neck region; however, its role in tumor development and prognosis has only been demonstrated for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV-OPSCC). The aim of this review is to analyze the results of the most recent literature that has investigated the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a method for discerning HPV-positive from HPV-negative OPSCC tumors. A review of the literature was performed using PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases, according to PRISMA for scoping review criteria (from 2017 to July 2024).

Although flexible and portable virtual reality technologies have simplified measuring participants' perception of acoustic space, their clinical adoption remains limited, often lacking ecological fidelity. In clinical practice, participants are typically instructed to remain still when testing sound localization, whereas head movements are crucial in daily life. Additionally, assessing spatial hearing extends beyond measuring accuracy to include meta-cognitive evaluations like perceived effort and confidence, which are rarely adopted.

Background: Over the last few years, many efforts have been made to leverage historical information in clinical trials. Incorporating historical data into current trials allows for a more efficient design, smaller studies, or shorter duration and may potentially increase the relative amount of information on efficacy and safety. Despite these advantages, it is crucial to select external data sources appropriately to avoid introducing potential bias into the new study.

Unlabelled: Aim of this paper is to present a literature review among bone conduction hearing aids particularly focusing on their surgical and functional outcomes.
Methods: A detailed review of the English literature to date on bone conduction hearing aids and outcomes have been performed using Pubmed, Scopus, Google Scholar and Medline databases. The literature review was performed using the guidelines proposed by the study "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA)" for scoping review.

Objectives: Although the endovascular management of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is widely performed, many studies have shown better long-term results with open graft repairing, mostly focusing on the classical open repair with midline access. This study aims to evaluate long-term results comparing EVAR (endovascular aneurysm repair) and surgical open repair with retroperitoneal access associated with ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 156 patients treated for AAA between 2015 and 2018 was conducted.

A 73-year-old male with left hip prosthesis infection performed a Tc HMPAO-labelled autologous WBC (WBC) scan to evaluate the response to antibiotic therapy. Since the early planar scan, an area of increased activity was visible extending from the left groin region to the ipsilateral flank. At late planar images, the area progressively focused in the left groin, site of a painful inguinal hernia.

The aim of these evidence-based guidelines is to present a consensus position from members of the Italian Unitary Society of Colon-Proctology (Società Italiana Unitaria di Colon-Proctologia, SIUCP) on the diagnosis and management of hemorrhoidal disease, with the goal of guiding physicians in the choice of the best treatment option. A panel of experts was charged by the Board of the SIUCP to develop key questions on the main topics related to the management of hemorrhoidal disease and to perform an accurate and comprehensive literature search on each topic, in order to provide evidence-based answers to the questions and to summarize them in statements. All the clinical questions were discussed by the expert panel in multiple rounds through the Delphi approach and, for each statement, a consensus among the experts was reached.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyse the clinical and radiographic data of a consecutive series of patients treated surgically for AO/OTA 44B ankle fracture at Ferrara University Hospital, Italy, with a view to identifying risk factors contributing to worse clinical and radiographic outcomes with a minium follow up of 6 years.
Materials And Methods: For each patient the following data were recorded: gender, age, Body Mass Index (BMI), follow up (months), previous ankle sprains, type of work, Kellgren-Lawrence (K&L) score, AO/OTA classification for ankle fracture, Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI score), ankle dislocation, syndesmotic transfixation, quality of reduction.
Results: FADI score in patients with AO/OTA 44B1 fracture was 95.

Background: Resection of non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (NF-PanNETs) is curative in most patients. The potential benefits of neoadjuvant treatments have, however, never been explored. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of neoadjuvant 177Lu-labelled DOTA0-octreotate (177Lu-DOTATATE) followed by surgery in patients with NF-PanNETs.
